You're the one that reaches meYou're the one that I admireEvery time we meet togetherMy soul feels like it's on fireNothing matters to meAnd there's nothing I desire'Cept you, yeah you

Nothing 'round here I care to try for'Cept you, yeah youGot nothing left to live or die for'Cept you, yeah you

There's a hymn I used to hearIn the churches all the timeMake me feel so good insideSo peaceful, so sublimeAnd there's nothing to remind me of thatOld familiar chime'Cept you, uh huh you

Used to play in the cemeteryDance and sing and run when I was a childNever seemed strangeBut now I just pass mournfully byThat place where the bones of life are piledI know somethin' has changedI'm a stranger here and no one sees me'Cept you, yeah you

Nothing much matters or seems to please me'Cept you, yeah youNothing hypnotizes meOr holds me in a spellEverything runs by meJust like water from a wellEverybody wants my attentionEv'rybody's got something to sell'Cept you, yeah you
